Trial overview
Official title: Administrative Database Study on the Impact of Adherence to Drug Therapy in Asthma Patients Treated with ADVAIR or Fluticasone Propionate in Quebec
Trial description: This is a retospective observational study that will utilize pharmaceutical and medical claims from the Quebec Provincial Health Insurance administrative databases. All patients with a diagnosis of asthma that have been treated with fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination or fluticasone propionate monotherapy between January 01, 2001 and March 31, 2011 will be included in the asthma cohort. Patients will be followed from the time of entry in the cohort through March 31, 2011, death or withdrawal from the insurance plan whichever occurs first. The study assesses the association between adherence to treatment and asthma related health care resource utilization in patients treated with fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination in a single inhaler (FSC). Adherence to treatment will be determined on the basis of the Medication Possession Ratio and Persistence. Exacerbations will be defined as use of oral corticosteroids, emergency room visits and hospitalizations related to asthma. Health care utilization will include medication use, visits to physicians and clinics and hospitalizations
